Hide or Ban the Server

Sorry, that's not how battlemetrics works,

If you don't wish your server to appear on websites like battlemetrics you need to stop your server from broadcasting out onto the internet where anyone & everyone is able to gain your servers information.

Most games, Rust included, use the Steam A2S query protocol. As part of that protocol, Steam will communicate with dedicated servers and compile a list of online servers. That list is the "master server list". The master server list is public so that anyone can ask Steam for a list of dedicated servers for a given game. This is how your typical in-game server browser works.

We use the same thing to retrieve a list of servers. If you don't want to have your server public, then don't broadcast it to Steam in the first place.
